Can You Read the Handwriting?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Without humans, the meek will inherit Earth.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

We don’t know why you love us like you do.
We don’t know why, you just do.
And that’s the way it is, July 6, 2008
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Give me five!”

[Loaves, perhaps. No, He didn’t say it.]

D. Blog: “Independence Day?”

I feel the ominous weight of empire, how it sucks life from me and those around me, how it robs its citizens of their intelligence and their creativity in order to serve its interests. Those interests seldom coincide with divine interests. Empire seeks domination. Divinity seeks only abundant life for all people. We have believed the lie that says we live in freedom, when in reality we live as indentured servants to this-worldly powers and principalities.

Do we see handwriting on the wall?
